Updated Genesis & Genesis 2 Products List & Thing To Be Aware Of

Comments

It would be great if daz provided an auto update, or notification process for owners of products and include the uninstaller with the new update. It seem strange to me to me that this process is all user initiated. I own many daz products and wow, I'm going to be spending a lot of time on this... When I'd rather be doing daz modeling.

Ethnicity for Genesis: African (1.2)
Ethnicity for Genesis: Asian (1.2)
Ethnicity for Genesis Bundle (1.2)
Ethnicity for Genesis: Native American (1.2)
Way of the Shinobi for Genesis (1.1)

Notes and Comments:

The Documentation Center gave no clue that Way of the Shinobi had been updated from 1.0 to 1.1 and I only discovered it was updated, by resting the bundle to get the version number for it. as I forgot to put it on the main list days ago.

Added in the the post with the main list a mention of the Non-Genesis Content with Metadata Mike maintains and gave a link to it.

KickAir 8P if the newer versions aren't in the bundle when you reset it just contact support so they can update the bundle.

I'm not sure if that particular bundle has been updated.

SimonJM the Online Documentation Center Read Me's list what was fixed when something was updated in most cases for newer updates. Most of the updates have been to fix issues when using the product with Studio 4.5.

Unless I get a notice from DAZ about updates I'm not bothering until all have been converted to ZIP files. The installers are a PITA enough as it is but not doing updates and then more updates. That's a huge list and I have most of it... no way.... YUK!

Alruna (1.3) is now in the Victoria 5 Pro Bundle. Support fixed it a few hours ago. The older 1.2 version was showing up along with the 1.3 one when I did a reset, so make sure you download the correct one.

I just updated the main list on the first page with the new ones that got reported recently new Genesis items that are part of the on this thread and added in the new items that are part of the Customer Appreciation Sale.

Thanks to all that have helped let me know when i needed to update or fix something on the products list.

If I have no intention of installing Studio 4.5 do I need to reset all my Genesis downloads?

Everything works fine at the moment and I'm not risking messing it all up!

Not all the updates are for DS 4.5 compatibility -- if a product is working fine, there may not be any essential improvements. If the version number has incremented a lot from the one you have (1.0 > 1.8 as opposed to 1.0 > 1.1) then you probably want the update, but if it's only .1 there may not be anything you need.

Some prop and scene items have been included on this list when they come with poses, etc. specifically for Genesis.

The following stuff isn't on the list, but I'm posting it here so it can be found easily as it is related to updates and to save people the trouble of having to look through multiple threads and posts..

Elite Human Surface Shader hasn't been updated. I contacted support to see if it had been last week after resetting all my elites that came with it.

Genesis Starter Essentials (1.3) is your basic content that was included in the older Daz Studio installer, but it is now in a separate installer.

If you have FaceShop 7+ Abalone LLC has a new plugin (dll) that works with the release version of DAZ Studio 4.5 and not the RC versions.
It is are out for 32-bit and 64-bit for PC and the Mac version is in the works. according to Abalone LLC.

To use replace the existing faceshoploader.dll in the Studio “plugin” folder.

If you have multiple copies of Daz Studio and want to have the Photoshop Bridge work for both you need to install one version to the Adobe Plugins folder and the other to your Alternate plugins folder that you set in preferences in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements. You can't put both versions in the same plugins folder.

Other updated plugins are in the works and will be released by venders when they are done and many have announced that they are working on them now.

Please report any updates to items on this list and things I don't have on it.

I'll be contacting support on Monday about the duplicate error with Jade Assassin (1.1).

Can anyone confirm if the 'A3 & H3 Shapes', and the 'S3 & FREAK Shapes' actually update anything? Have downloaded the 1.1 files and the dates of the files in the data folder don't seem to have changed.
